Blake Griffin suffered a frustrating night that will be remembered for much more than his career low 2 rebounds and his inefficient shooting (6 for 18, 2 for 8 in the first quarter). It will be remembered by a single, glorious failure. Down 97-84 with a little more than 4 minutes to play, Blake set a high screen for Mo[...]

What has always amazed me about the Phoenix Suns, beyond Steve Nash’s abilities to run the point, has been the way that the team keeps its players on the court. They allow Steve Nash to play like Steve Nash because he’s always on the court. Since Nash joined the Phoenix Suns, he has missed only 27 games in [...]

For a meaningless Mid-March game between two lottery-bound squads, there was no shortage of interesting story lines surrounding today’s game against the Cavs: 1. Eric Gordon’s second attempt to return from his wrist injury. 2. Baron Davis’ return to the Staples Center. 3. The Clippers attempt not to be swept by the lea[...]

The fans will probably boo Baron. I understand the reaction, Baron never even came close to living up to his contract, but Baron’s stay with the Clippers felt larger than just a failure to live up to a contract. That is too typical to any team in the NBA. Baron, even in his failures, was special. He was an LA kid[...]

Naturally, only the best college and international players make it, and even the lowliest bench player had his moment at some point. Brian Cook was once Big-10 Player of the Year! With the start of March Madness upon us, I thought [...]

With the Clippers down 42-39, Blake Griffin found himself on the break with the opportunity for a breakaway slam dunk. He tried to split the defense of Jodie Meeks and Tony Battie, only Meeks nicked Blake in the face and Tony Battie grabbed Blake from behind, knocking him to the ground. Blake fired up and looked ready [...]

A lot going on in Clipperland right now: Elton Brand Returns. EB was the centerpiece on the best Clipper team in history (2005-2006) when the Clippers won their only first round matchup. After the team returned to mediocrity in 2007 and 2008, Elton Brand looked like he would rejuvenate the Clippers again by luring frie[...]

Clippers didn’t lose this game in the second half, they lost it in the first. The last two quarters were only an anticlimactic continuance of their early game bad habits. “They were more hungry than us but that doesn’t give us an excuse to be that soft,” Vinny said. The most obvious disappointment in the ga[...]
